MEXICO CITY – A new face on Jordan Spieth’s bag, but a similar result on Thursday at the WGC-Mexico Championship.
Playing with his father, Shawn, on his bag because his normal caddie Michael Greller had to return home following the death of his father, John “Bear” Greller, Spieth struggled to a 4-over 75. It was Spieth’s second consecutive over-par round following his final round 81 last week at the Genesis Open.
Shawn Spieth last caddied for his son at the 2011 U.S. Amateur and it was a uniquely grueling task at Club de Golf Chapultepec, which is nearly 8,000 feet above sea level.
